International Classification:

H04W 24/00

US Classification:

4554561, 4554562, 4554563, 4554566, 4554565, 4554141

Abstract:

A system and method identifies correlations between locations. A server may receive information identifying an action and a location from a plurality of users. The server may assign a weighted value to each action and store the weighted value and location in a database. The database may be used to generate vector data for each location identifying the weighted values for a number of users. In response to receiving a location from a particular user device, the server may identify a vector associated with the received location. The location vector may be compared to other location vectors to determine if there is any correlation between the vectors. Where the server identifies a correlated vector, the server may send the identification of the corresponding location or information associated with the corresponding location to the particular user device.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 141

Abstract:

A three-dimensional taxonomy server is operative to identify the location of a client device based on three-dimensional positional information received from the client device. The three-dimensional positional information may include global positioning system coordinates, an Internet Protocol address, cellular network information, or any other type of three-dimensional positional information. The three-dimensional taxonomy server may operate in conjunction with another server, such as an advertising server or business search server, to deliver contextual content based on the location of the client device. The contextual content may include a targeted advertisement, a targeted search result, or other type of contextual content.

US Classification:

435 5, 435 72, 435 732, 435 731, 435 722, 435 723, 435 736, 435 733, 435 734, 435 737

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to methods, assays and compositions for implementing such methods and assays for assessing efficacy of individual components in multi-component vaccines and for assessing efficacy of a vaccine against a pathogen. In one aspect, the method of assessing efficacy of a vaccine against a pathogen is a quick assay that tests for an activity correlated with efficacy such as binding in an ELISA rather than requiring the time and expense of an assay that detects actual bactericidal activity. In another aspect, the method for testing the efficacy of an individual component in a multi-component vaccine includes obtaining an immune sample from a subject inoculated with the multi-component vaccine; blocking the portion of the immune sample that recognizes the individual component such as by addition of the individual component, and testing the efficacy of the immune sample to respond to the pathogen.

International Classification:

G01N 33/68

US Classification:

435 71, 436501

Abstract:

The invention provides methods for detecting the presence of a non-prion pathogenic conformer in a sample by contacting the sample suspected of containing a non-prion pathogenic conformer with a pathogenic conformer-specific binding reagent under conditions that allow the binding of the reagent to the pathogenic conformer, if present; and detecting the presence the pathogenic conformer, if any, in the sample by its binding to the reagent; where the pathogenic conformer-specific binding reagent is typically derived from a prion protein fragment and interacts preferentially with a pathogenic prion protein. Methods for diagnosis of conformational diseases are also provided.
